Skies Event. -Observation Team-

[The Roar of the Falls]

The boat, jostled by the rough weather, wafted up to the landing deck in Land of Tea's Nagi Island. Aero's fit unfortunately had robbed them of the name of the god they faced and his element, but most importantly, it robbed the team of the knowledge of what item they were sent to retrieve. Suck would be the case with all of the teams, sent hastily to their respective islands and countries without their full objective, luckily they were teamed with a member of the sect who had called them there in the first place.

The elegant form of Irelia stepping off the boat without hesitation or falter in step, stepping onto the dock with a practiced air of regal authority. Her sharp green eyes took in the scenery as she waited for her company to show up in tail. They had only oh so much time at their disposal and it ground her nerves she had to wait for her team member to step out. There was no greeting party, no HQ nor back up, this mission was as incognito as it could get, Irelia hoped and payed her team was ready for this.

There was little more that the Kamyuja could do than to observe his surroundings with full awareness. The rough treatment of their vessel left him slightly irritated as he departed in the wake of Irelia's arrival. Adjusting the gourd upon his back quite effortlessly, almost as if its bulk meant nothing to a man of his stature, he joined the woman at her side and cast his eyes out and into the distance. They were going in blind, the information having been cut short at the will of unseen forces. Still, the former KazeKage was prepared to investigate and observe. Silver gray orbs regarded the dock with a bit of curiosity and intrigue, his lips parting only out of sheer necessity.

"What more can you tell me that didn't get passed on from the Land of Wind?" he asked.

Whether she answered or not was irrelevant at this point. He'd simply try his hand at any details he didn't know. Still, he had willingly come here of his own accord. There was no turning back once they advanced.

[The Roar of the Falls]

Her company had arrived. Finally. Irelia' hair fluttered as a stale wind threatened to blow in a storm. Her eyes began to glow immediately, assessing the clouds with a scrutinous eyes before stalking forward silently. Of all the missions theirs seemed the easiest but that was not the case at all. It seemed more like theirs would be the most crucial for what is harder than entering enemy lines with no intentions to cause direct harm and to escape under those same pretenses?


Semantics. It wouldnt matter to her, Aero and Kalio had paired her with the Kamyuja at her back and expected her to make due, and make due she would. As she began walking off she spoke loudly, much louder than her frail frame seemed capable of producing.

"All I can tell you is that the God we are going to spy on is a very suspicious one. He is wary, paranoid almost and will more than likely see us before we see him if we are not careful..."

Her eyes scanned the distance as she walked, hoping he was keeping up, she had no time to repeat herself.

"I can tell from here that 100 meters out surveillance precautions have been taken. Kyoshiro, I expect nothing less than success on this mission, I will not jeopardize the world for the sake of your safety. I hope we are clear."

She did bother turning around, instead she cut right, beginning a full fledged run before breaking into a four limbed run, her hands and feet pounding the ground as she took on the speed of an animal. Time was wasting, the mission had already begun.

[— Kyo]

What details she had for him, he'd keep at the forefront of his thoughts as he watched her rather meticulously. No sooner than when she'd broken out into a full run, he would begin the same while keeping himself as low to the earth as possible. At least four meters separated them as his momentum picked up - it was a rather odd ability that she possessed, almost feral. But just as she had taken up kinetic energy to elude the grasp of their plans becoming foiled, he would follow and ensure that their flanks were covered. "Cover my own ass and don't expect you to catch a grenade, throw your hand on a blade, or jump in front of a train for me. Got it." The look that the Kamyuja gave was somewhat incredulous at the thought of another saving his life. A possibility, but not as important as those he cared about surviving their own ordeal in order to find completion in the task.

Kyoshiro's sand slowly filtered out from the gourd, falling lifelessly toward the earth behind them; blending in to the gaia below, he could call upon it should the occasion come to rise. His hands remained e'er present, hovering around his secondary items with vigilant resolve edging him forward. The former KazeKage could only wonder what lay in store for them. Be it a small matter or a life that hung in the balance, he would not forsake the counsel of Irelia's wisdom.

[The Roar of the Falls]

Limbs pounded the dirt as she rounded tree's and shrubbery, coming to a small opening in the bushes 40 meters out. She stopped and winched at the pain from the run, her body long used to the ways of walking upright. She glanced through the bushes and wait for his footsteps before holding up a fist to signal a stop. That same hand preformed one handed seals, and as she cupped it over her mouth, she turned to him and spoke, though the volume of the words were doused in chakra, preventing them from echoing out into the world.

"Ahead of use is a surveillance yard, its lined with any am all possible movement and thermal detection devices known to the world, you do not move, speak, act or even breathe without my say so." Though her words were carried though a tunnel of condensed chakra, her eyes held the fierce command that her voice held as well.

In the clearing through the bushes was a massive pit, its opening spanned roughly 30 meters and it spiraled downward, its insides covered with plant life, but not just any plant life. It contained a rare strain of tea leaves. she kept the hand to her mouth, speaking to him. "We must pass the security check before anything, we will worry about the rest of the mission after that." She motioned to the rim of the opening in the clearing. Its entire right lined with camera spikes and thermal scopes with multiples lenses, extended viewing lended and a few men dressed in garbs of pure light it seemed, walked its expanse.

"So you have any idea's, of am I getting us inside as well?" It was meant as a joke but her tone lacked sarcasm, if anything it held conviction.

[— Kyo]

Kyoshiro's eyes scanned the entirety of the opening ahead of them, the gears within his mind beginning to turn as small amounts of his sand began to pour out and into the ground around them. Out of range of the motion - every grain scarcely moving without his mental approval - he'd surround them in a defensive bed of the substance before allowing his eyes to fall onto Irelia. "If they're so worried about motion, then let's give it to them. Maneuver whatever element you've got to overwhelm their motion sense load. If they don't have communications devices, they'll be forced to see to it themselves. Otherwise, they'll have no choice but to shut it off. They come looking? We flank their positions and try to keep their rotations steady."

It was a simple plan, but he dare not move without her consent or her cooperation. They had stressed teamwork not long ago, the hero and vigilante routes far from his idea of successfully completing what lay before them. Kyo was able to spot the tea leaf strain, though he would simply inquire further before making motion. "That flora? Why would it be in an opening like this?" he questioned, mentally making a note of its quality. With time of the essence, he'd make use of every element around them. His voice was low, stifled by the addition of a small blanket of sand covering the vibrations from his sound. If they were discovered here, then the others would no doubt find themselves suffering.

He couldn't let that happen to Gilroy.

[The Roar of the Falls]

The plan wasnt overly complicated, rather simple in its own regard but crazier things had worked in such cases. Though she didnt agree nor deny the possibilities at all, she patiently waited for any further comments on the plan before adding in her own bit, he intentions werent to demoralize or belittl ehis plan, but in the end...it would not suffice.

"If and when we start this, we will have to make a more than 13 meter dash, remain out of sight, breach the security line and make it down that pit before they dismiss whatever disruption we make. They will not dismiss the sudden alarm sounding and we will be flooded immediately, never assume all the kings men are in one spot."

She looked back to the pit and finally back to him, wishing they would not have to gamble but taking the chance ultimately. But first, a question.

"Do you know any Shunshin?"

A sly smile crossed her features, pulling her sharp cheekbones tight against skin as her eyes gave a hint of humor.

[— Kyo]

He could only wonder if Irelia wasn't aware of his abilities - the sand that poured around them hadn't been meant to flank one position, but many. Still, she knew better than he about the methods at hand. It was more than certain that their numbers had been spread out to prevent the type of observation that they intended. They'd landed without difficulty, signifying easily that their attention had been placed elsewhere. He'd heard her words, and then her question; choosing to ignore the former, lessons he knew well, he'd simply move forward to her next inquiry. "The Shunshin technique. I practiced it, but the mastery eludes me. We'll have to move by other means." It was then that he moved his right hand to pick up a mound of the sand that had poured up. He allowed it to hover as he dropped it.

"My sand's able to cover our tracks. If you come up with the mobility, I'll make up for it with the defenses. Anything further, and..." he trailed off. He remembered the very blood that flowed through his veins. To have activated the Chaos would have meant that their adversaries would be tossed as chaff to the wind. But on the other side of that coin rested a beast that couldn't be tamed; Irelia would be in danger within the Path of Destruction that was associated with his blood's origin. It was a risk that he couldn't take, let alone fathom. And so he would merely remain, a quiet lion that watched sheep patrol the perimeter. A frustrating mission, perhaps, but one that would save the lives of their teammates. He had to make the sacrifice.

It was up to Irelia to push the envelope in order for them to do so. "I'm not above silent casualties.." he finished, his attempt at dissuading her from inquiring as to why he'd stopped so short in his words. They had to get a move on. He'd dwell on his shortcomings later.
